She released an autobiography in 1991 detailing some of her sexual conquests (which included Robert De Niro), while Pozzi also (unsuccessfully) ran for the position of the Mayor of Rome in 1992.

The original Moana died in 1994, aged 33 after being ill for some time.

The New York Times described Moana in a 2004 article as 'Italy's most revered porn star'.

"Stunningly beautiful with a razor-sharp mind, Pozzi created a public persona that in just a few years became as popular with hormonally charged young men as with devout grandmothers.… Indeed, even while Pozzi was performing in erotic cabarets and filming cheesy porn flicks, she lived a parallel life as a respected pundit on television talk shows, philosophizing about sexual freedom or holding forth on gay rights or denouncing the Mafia."
